Here we go with another film based game due out here soon. A few weeks from now soon at that. Not to mention one of the larger titles coming out this year for true uber geeks. Suck it sparklers.
In any instance, I was able to join up on a conference call with Dean Martinetti, the game’s producer, and Mike McHale, the game's Development Director. Where we got to throw out our questions about the game as well as try to gauge on why we or anyone should pick up another film based game. Especially since the last one in this franchise was such a piss-poor adaptation. Read More...

In just under a month, the next batch of DLC for Dante's Inferno will be hitting XBox Live, and the PlayStation Network. It will be bringing two new modes with it, multiplayer and "build-your-own-challenge" mode. Also a few new enemies to add to the roster. Although I'm going to say that they are going to be slightly altered models from the main game with a new coat of paint. Look at the last DLC that came out. But this is of course information we all knew about from the start. Read More...

Looks like Ubisoft might be gearing up to go into feature films, or at least shorts sometime soon. First they do a live action short based on all the beginning story to Assassin's Creed II. Something that was produced very well and added quite a bit of extra content to the overall experience of the game. At least it did for me. But the Assassin's Creed short looks like it was just the tip of the iceberg for Ubisoft's short films. Read More...

Hell is a touchy subject. It has been and always will be. It was much worse to even speak about it back when Dante Alighieri wrote The Divine Comedy where he mapped out the circles of Heaven and Hell for all those God fearing Christians to know exactly what he thought was in store for humanity after they shed their mortal coil. But at least he made it easy to disseminate between the three areas one soul could go to.
Now that the history lesson is over, let's look at where that has gone now, EA and Visceral Games', Dante's Inferno. Read More...

The day is finally here. The day that EA and Visceral Games have been ramping up for. The day that you get to "Go To Hell." With Dante's Inferno launching today (2/9/10), you may be wondering what the people over at EA and Visceral are doing to celebrate the launch.

So if for some reason you are going to be part of half of the US not watching the Super Bowl, or you don't live in the US and could give half a flying rats ass about the big game here, EA is not leaving you out in the cold with there expensive ass ad appearing during the game.

While not the same montage sequence from Team America, it is none the less as awesome. Just in a different way. One was a comical character build up using marionettes. The other, well a action packed showing of how bad ass Dante is, and will be, through out the game. With Dante's showing him off with all the in game graphics and effects we will be getting here in just over a week.
This clip is not all that long, but it will give you a cool feel for what actions and attack Dante will have in his arsenal. If you haven't played the demo all that many times that is. Read More...

So in a time where exclusives can greatly help a console system, as long as the game is going to be a big one, it looks as if Sony just landed themselves half a big fish. A fish that is showing up on the XBox and the PSP as well. But it looks like the best version of Dante's Inferno, the game I'm talking about, is going to be on the PS3 and only the PS3.

As I was about to board my flight for
the trip, I thought I might pick up something to help the trip go by
faster. I understood that buying inside the airport usually meant
higher prices, but I managed to find a reasonably priced PSP
Assassin's Creed Bloodlines bundle, which came with the game, a
Silver PSP-3000, a code redeemable for a DLC version of Angels and
Demons, and a 2gb memory stick. Sure, I already had the PSP-1000 and
I did know that the 3000's screens were crap at best, but I decided
to get one anyhow seeing as that my launch unit's screen was fairly
beaten up, scratched, and the fact that the audio only worked through
the headphones as the speakers had found a way to stop working about
2 weeks before.
Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed isn't new to the

and iPhone earlier, however this was the first time that they would
try putting the full free-roam style gameplay on a handheld. Read More...

Dante's Inferno has been this year's king of the publicity stunts. If you've been keeping up with gaming news this year, you would have seen Christians petitioning Dante's Inferno at E3, EA offering a "night of sin with 2 hot girls" during Comic-Con 09, and finally there was that little business of $200 being sent to game reviewers in skeleton covered boxes. Well Dante's Inferno is at it again this time with a website that would scare the life out of any gamer.
Mass We Pray is the latest edition to the Dante's Inferno marketing campaign:
A family shouldn’t have to wait until Sunday to worship the Lord. Read More...

With the slew of promotions EA and Visceral Games are doing for this game, (Greedy Checks, Rick Rolling Boxes), what is the actual story behind the game? We all know that it is a loose translation of the famous epic poem The Divine Comedy. You know, the first "mapping" of Hell and in turn leading to a man's persecution, but what is the actual story trying to be told in this throw at the poem?
Well our friends over at GameTrailers, and in turn EA and Visceral, have put together a nice little short clip of why Dante is going to Hell. It also shows off a bit of the game as well as some pretty cool quotes from literature to mix it all well. Read More...
